Cornerstone Learn - Offline Materials - Overview
Prior to this enhancement, Cornerstone Learn app users were only able to download online courses for offline consumption.
With this enhancement, users of the Learn app can also download mobile-enabled materials that have been configured for offline use. These downloaded material training items can then be launched offline and consumed, and users can mark them complete once the internet connection is restored.
The Allow Download for Offline Consumption field is available for materials via the Course Catalog.
The following file types can be made available for download and offline consumption:
- doc
- docx
- gif.
